QuickBooks Desktop caters to businesses across multiple industries.
Love the ease of use for providers it makes recording meals easier and love love love the copy days options and all the infant options we did not have before.
Terrible user interface. Updates are slow and sloppy, leaving numerous errors for the user to fix.
It has been an excellent business saver time and money wise. I am so grateful for the wonderful resource it has been to my large home daycare.
Their customer service is terrible. They have had numerous accounting outages, and have cost family childcare providers a lot of money.
I loved this software because it helps me find child care when I need it. Its easy to use and very simple.
Each child and each meal is ridiculous. Each day should start with breakfast - not dinner.
I love how easy the program is reallyset-up for you to choose meals for day to day planning. I love how I can run reports for everything I can think of that I might need.
Just when internet not working is the only time have trouble.
Another huge benefit is the ability to export data to Excel for custom reporting. Another perk is the training and support available - well worth the small monthly fee to take advantage of it.
Sometimes, as with any software, Quickbooks can have problems and terminates at the worst possible time.
The Professional version for three. I love how I can help my small but busy non profit seamlessly keep track of hundreds of families in our before and after school care program.
We have used this company for more than 20 years, now they are a pay to use company. I HATE THIS COMPANY, it's all about the money now.
I love that I don’t have to outsource simple things like payroll, expense reporting, preparation for taxtime, and more. I have always found the customer service to be very helpful and understanding.
Customer service is dismal. I was unable to have them assist me in a time critical event.
I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what this program can do and I'm super pleased with it. The customization options of the reports has been extremely helpful as well.
My only complaint has been that when you are couple of releases behind you can no longer direct email invoices to a client.
Jennifer J.: Hi, my name is Jennifer and I'm an education provider and I did give KidKare five rating and for more [inaudible 00:00:07]. I switched to KidKare because it's more convenient because I used before system from [inaudible 00:00:17] department and it was too slow or sometime they don't have the flexibility to our children to get out and use. It wasn't convenient for me so that's why I switched to KidKare. I decided at the end to try KidKare and then I stay with it for more than five years now because it's more convenient for me. It's easy to use, it a lot of tools that I can improve my system with my all the children that I have and it's great. It's work easy and convenient for me. To start KidKare first I, when I knew this, it was through my agency and it's super easy. So if you download the application on your computer, you go to the website and they give you a tour, how to use everything. So you're not going to be lost. So it's quicker to learn it and it's very easy. I will advise all my colleagues maybe to switch if they're looking for something convenient, easy, and not a headache to use because we have a lot of software out there. But when you find something that it go with the job that you do it's a lot better because everything is clear. And if you don't know something there was always assistant online, so they can help you with anything that you maybe don't get. But everything's pretty clear so I would advise them to get KidKare for sure.
Kaity H.: Hi, I'm Kaity. I'm the general manager at a small company, we have less than 15 employees, and I give QuickBooks Desktop a five. We use QuickBooks Desktop for invoicing, billing, keeping track of the bills we owe everybody else. Anything that has to do with money at our company, that's what we use QuickBooks for. Keeping track of our bank accounts, that's really important. So we use it for a lot of things. I like that QuickBooks Desktop is easy to use. It's very clear. It has all the buttons. "I want to do billing." Oh, you click on the billing button. "I need to check on a customer." There's the customer button. It's very straightforward. "We need a report." There's a reports list. So it's very straightforward to use. It would be nice if QuickBooks Desktop could be linked to more specific softwares. I know we are a landscape company, so we use certain landscapes. I'm sure electricians and plumbers, they have all different softwares, and if you could link those softwares to QuickBooks, I think that would be awesome. So maybe expand who they partner with to use everybody's different softwares that they need to run their specific companies.
